Manual: 2009-2011

An unsecured or incorrectly secured vehicle can move unintentionally or fall down off the lifting equipment, e.g. jack or lifting platform, during repairs.

If you have to work on the engine while it is running, always put the parking brake on and put the gearshift lever in neutral or the PDK selector lever in position P.

Always place the vehicle on stable supports if work has to be carried out under the vehicle.
The car jack is not suitable for this.

Lift the vehicle only at the specified jacking points on the vehicle underbody.

Never start the engine while the vehicle is raised. Engine vibrations can cause the vehicle to fall down.

When working under the car without safety stands but with the wheels on the ground, make sure the car is on level ground, the wheels are blocked, and that the engine cannot be started.
Remove the ignition key.
